Jazz on record

This is just one of Scott's wonderful jazz books. If you like this book, you'll want to check out the others.

As a side note, Scott Yankow is also a featured record reviewer for the All Music Guide to jazz. You may also wish to buy an AMG to Jazz book.

Happy reading,

Brian,
I actually have three of the AMG books to different genres. They are great. As a matter of fact, that's how I knew of Scott Yankow. When I saw his name associated with this new work, I jumped on it. Very authoritative...

His name is Scott Yanow, not Yankow, and his books on Swing and Bebop are among my favorite resources. The ratings are not inflated and he has a special section for each artist for recordings on vinyl that haven't made the transition to CD. What I really like about his books is that he writes more from the perspective of a fan than of a critic. Meaning, he is not interested in panning bad recordings, rather in recommending some really wonderful records by some outstanding musicians.
